Holy shit this was MJ's 3rd game, and the Bucks were a very good team in the 80s, Sidney Moncrief was a damn good defender and Jordan just made him look foolish.
I personally think Jordan would be 1st in all time scoring if he would have came to the NBA straight from highschool and didn't miss 7months with a broken ankle, 2 years playing baseball after his dad died, and the year he spent in retirement. Kobe and Lebron have a 8yr advantage on him and stll haven't passed him.
MJ doesn't use fancy dribbling. He is just so quick, and after he is in the air, you can't stop him. He doesn't have weakness.
Today, D.Rose has better dribble, quick and strong. But short, and not stable on jump shot. LBJ has almost all, but no low post offense. Wade has almost all, but no mid-range game. KB has almost all, somehow he doesn't have MJ's mind, and not as consistent as MJ.
This is good research.. Sometimes i wonder how his game would translate to the new era of nba with so many athletic specimens out there nowadays.. He's as freakishly athletic as lebron... Splits defenders like only d rose can.. Has all the skill of a kobe bryant or a d wade but knew how to rise to the occasion like no one ever has since or probably ever will.. So glad i got to grow up in the jordan era... best ever no doubt.. i wish i could watch him do it all over again
what i love most about these games from his rookie season is how blown away everyone is....nobody knew what to expect from him and he seemed to ALWAYS outdo his hype...always
@LegendElTerror U gotta watch the video of MJ on the Wizards vs the Lakers in 2002. Wizards vs Lakers and Mj at age 39 against prime Shaq and Kobe. MJ still wins and plays better than Kobe at age 39! Fun vid to watch, but simply amazing and astounding. The rosters themselvs should have LA win, but MJ changes the dynamics of the game, even at an age where he twice the age of these young players and even agaisnt the champion Lakers. Mj is really GOAT!
i guess nba was not popular in chicago before jordan came along?
and for anyone who said jordan didn't have the mid range game in his rookie season, please open up your eyes and look what happen here. he even has a mini fade away shot in only his 3rd game of his career.
I was in a Pops resturant in chicago and they had the paper in there chicago tribune from when the bulls thought about drafting jordan. The headline read, "Could he this be the man to bring a title"? Looking at it from hinesight made me laugh. The article talked about all his intangables including a quote from bob knight saying, "Hes the best player ive ever seen" That was after the olmpyics, didnt even put on a pro jersey yet! He was right
Yes look at the empty seats, no wonder he was so pissed when Jerry Krause said management wins championship. MJ filled the arena and made the Bulls millions in Bulls merchandise.
Look where his elbow was on the dunk early in the game. The GOAT
